Reasons Why Food & Beverage Companies Use Heat Exchangers

Posted July 11, 2018byNoren Thermal

Food and beverage companies invest in advanced technology for the same reasons that other industries do – it’s necessary to remain productive and successful in increasingly more competitive markets. Besides meeting increasing demands for products and services, that competitive edge also includes keeping costs manageable and optimizing employee productivity. For many food and beverage companies, heat exchangers are an important part of their technological investments, allowing them to streamline thermal management and other traditionally costly and/or cumbersome processes.

Advanced Technology Demands It

For many types of modern equipment and machinery, heat exchanger technology is already a part of their design. The innovative thermal management solutions are often preferable for technologies that require consistent, high-performance heat transfer, including automated equipment that food and beverage companies utilize throughout their production facilities. As they implement newer machinery and equipment, these companies increasingly benefit from the lower costs and maintenance needs that their heat exchangers provide.

Energy-Efficiency Matters More

That level of efficiency in both costs (such as energy consumption) and manpower have always been an important benefit of heat exchangers, but these days, it continues to grow increasingly more essential. More industries are searching for ways to replace their reliance on non-renewable energies or at least dramatically reduce their consumption of it. Before heat exchangers, electrical thermal management was often one of the heaviest draws on energy. Now, companies can keep operations going without worrying about how much energy they’re consuming.

Heat Exchangers Offer Several Other Benefits

The ability to consistently transfer electrical waste heat, even for more powerful technologies, has benefited food and beverage companies in several other ways, as well. For example, processes that require consistent heating, such as pasteurization, can rely on the consumption of other forms of energy, such as natural gas. When appropriate, heat exchangers can often be designed to assist these processes by redirecting electrical waste heat as needed, further streamlining overall production.
